Not to discount Arai because she's put a ton of work in and is way above where she should be, but she already had an idol fanbase.

so when Punk did that callback to a 1994 Bret Hart match, was that longterm booking 28 years in the making?

Many people missed it, but Hangman Page vs Kenny Omega was the culmination of a storyline that began on the very first match of the very first episode of Monday Night Raw. As the records show, both matches ended in a pinfall.

I haven't watched this and likely won't, but that channel itself is pretty inoffensive compared to a lot of the recurring characters in this thread.

I think this is also the channel where the cohost said he'd quit reviewing WWE if they changed Walter's name and then legit went "gently caress this, I'm out" when they did.

It's pretty bland and forgettable, which is glowing praise considering some of the other poo poo in here.

I don't think you can seriously suggest that Yuki's pre-existing popularity doesn't play some part in how hard she's pushed and where she's been positioned.

I think that TJPW can be credited as creating an environment where her past history can be taken advantage of and in a position where she's not under or over pushed

Her rookie awards don't seem to have been brigaded by her fans either (except maybe the Shupro awards)

On a larger scale, I don't think TJPW needs to build stars like WWE or AEW or even Stardom needs to build stars because that's not what they're selling.

Their strategy is the slow accretion of each wrestler getting more skilled, polished and interesting over years rather than debuting a Goldberg or having an Okada style return from excursion.

It's a very DDT style of booking except they've had much less raw material to start off with. Their rookies move to the midcard and their midcard becomes the main event, main eventers drop down to do rookie mentorship matches. The hierarchy is also all mixed and churned up regularly with repeated popularity poll booking and shoot random order tournament brackets.

The problem with this approach is that while there is some sense of improvement among the rest of the roster, there's a wide, wide gap between everyone else and Miyu, so any progress feels like it's not for anything. I think they'll continue to use valuable prospects as long as they're too conservative with their booking in pushing anywhere near Miyu's level.
